Happy Mother's Day To Barbara Elliott

BARNEGAT-MANAHAWKIN, NJ — Whether it's through their personalities, looks, hobbies, or a combination of everything, children become a reflection of the woman who raised them.

With Mother's Day 2021 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across the state to share their mother-daughter and mother-son photos. Happy Mother's Day!

Daniel Elliott submitted the following for mom Barbara Elliott:

Why she is special: The bond and relationship that we share now. Me being an adult at 48 years old. And for her to be my best friend and confidant. To support and stand by me through whatever decision I make, be it good or bad! To not show judgements or berate, talk down to me or try and chastise me for them. But, and to be supportive and encouraging and let me know that it'll get better.

Message: I love you and appreciate all that you have done for me and all of the endless support you've shown me! Through thick or thin and you've been there. I love you mommy!!

At Patch, we want to celebrate that special bond by inviting our readers to share their favorite mother-daughter or mother-son photos and sentiments. Submit your special message here.
